“Amber is amazing! She cared for our 2 dogs for 3 weeks and was just incredible! Our one pup is a senior recovering from surgery, and she was so great with meds and physio and taking all the precautions he needed in his recovery. Our other pup is an active one, and she managed to balance both their needs and is an amazing communicator! We were able to enjoy our extended trip with absolutely no worries, and also received regular updates and pics of their staycation with Amber. My pups also came away with a new best friend in Dante. To say that I highly recommend Amber is an understatement.”
“Our two Havanese had a wonderful time at Tracy’s. They played with her dogs and enjoyed their daily walks too. Tracy keep us informed with notes and pictures every day and we could tell that they were being well taken care of. We highly recommend Tracy and would have our pups stay there again anytime.”

“Lindsey helped us out so much today and super last minute!! She was so friendly, replied right away, sent video and photos and text updates through the day, and our dog had an absolute blast with her pup Millie. I would absolutely recommend Lindsey for your doggie care needs! Thank you so much!”

Both of our dogs seemed so happy and settled when we picked them up. We highly recommend Hongxiang. Thanks so much for being so thoughtful and loving to Binks and Gigi.”
“We were so happy with all the adventures Cindy took our Mr. Timber on! Hiking, biking, paddling & swimming. Highly recommend if you have a pup that loves off leash adventures. Timber came home very tired.”
“Merron was excellent with our dog. Our dog has only stayed with family over her seven years. Family was unable to care for our dog so we search via Rover. We located Merron set up the meet and greet. Leaving my dog with someone I don't really know was extremely stressful for me, my dog adjusted better than I did. Merron provided daily pics and texts so I was always informed and provided feedback when she noticed evening sleeping issues. All dogs are family and when someone takes your family member into home she gave my dog all the love and attention she needed. Merron, I would recommend highly if your board your dog with her. I will use her services again. Such a positive experience Thanks Merron you're the best”
“I found ourselves needing a dog sitter on very short notice, and couldn't have been luckier to find her. From the moment we connected, she was kind, professional, and incredibly accommodating. She has a genuine love for dogs, and it showed in the care and attention she gave to my pup. What really stood out was her experience and specialization with senior dogs. She was patient, understanding, and attentive to my dog's unique needs, which gave me complete peace of mind while away.

Cassidy is such a sweet person, and I know we will be rebooking for sure when we need a sitter again!”
About: My pet care experience started 10 years ago - my dad took me to his best friends house and they told me their dog loved going on adventures but they weren’t able to get out much. From there I started pickup him up for walks and hikes, and eventually I ended up pet sitting a bunch of different times. My favourite memory was when he hopped the fence and ran next door and waited for me at the basement suite door because he knew I was cleaning it. We became inseparable! Eventually I got my own dog, became friends with a dog trainer and have spent so many hours working and learning as much as I can about dogs. My kiddo is a little older and now I’d love to offer services to others. I work remotely taking clients so I am available most days of the week t take care of your furry friends! We have lots of green space at nearby parks for decompressing and sniffing and live in a great neighbourhood for dog walks. I have a fully fenced yard, as well as a fenced dog run. Inside the house I do require dogs to be crate trained for overnights. I offer dogs clear communication and structure in my home, with a guarantee their needs will be met. One of my best friends is a dog trainer and I work heavily with my own dog to ensure needs like prey drive (play) and pack drive are met. As well as plenty of time to decompress.
“Thank you for looking after our kitty while we were away. We especially appreciated your patience with her ear meds and your flexibility with timing. It made a big difference for us knowing she was well cared for.”
About: As a family of six we ran a dog boarding care facility for over a decade. Fur babies have been our companions for most our lives. We enjoy outdoor exercise time with dogs. The company of a pet while relaxing at home is second to none. Life is only as good as the company you keep. We are a stay at home business owning family. With 6 of us and our friends and family coming or going throughout the day there is someone almost always home. Our boys are 22, 20 and 18 years and our daughter is now 9 years of age. We love cuddles and outdoor walks/jogs with dogs. Over night stays welcome or Pawsitive Pet Playcare! We are happy to accommodate your regular routine so your pet care is consistent while you are away. In Summer 2023, we welcomed a Yorkshire terror into our family. She’s been fun. Seen as dogs come with various personalities and traits we will enjoy getting to know your dog and socializing yours with ours. We can separate our dog from yours if necessary. If your dog is allowed to be on couch or bed we can accommodate that at our home.
“Kristen was wonderful. She accepted our booking for drop-in visits very last minute. She was fast to respond and communicated clearly. She followed our instructions, perfectly for our dogs - one who is grumpy with strangers and the other who is blind and has to negotiate stairs. She sent great pictures and was very courteous and friendly. Definitely recommend…”
“We will 100% be using Morgan and her son Bowen again! They stayed at our home for several days and took amazing care of our two very spoiled cats. Morgan is so sweet, calm, and clearly has a natural way with animals — our cats took to her and Bowen right away, even the shy one only took a day to come out of hiding. Bowen is the cutest little helper and brings such a happy energy. Morgan sent regular updates which totally put us at ease while we were away. So grateful to have found them!”
About: What sets me apart is my focus on personalized, low-stress walks tailored to your pup’s needs—whether it’s a gentle stroll for seniors or energetic play for puppies plus real-time updates. I volunteered for several years at the humane society, walking dogs daily and working closely with cats to help them feel safe and socialized. In Cochrane, I’m an adoptions counsellor, matching families with their perfect pets. At home, I’ve cared for my own exotic birds for years and of course I have my own little dog, Hanna, (who was the very first client I took out for walks!). I’ve also ridden horses for many years and currently have a rehab horse I’m gently nursing back to health. I absolutely adore all pets especially senior animals and have lots of experience providing the extra patience, gentle care, and attention they need (Hanna is a senior but still thinks she’s a pup…), whether it’s helping with mobility, or just offering quiet companionship. This diverse background equips me with skills in puppy socialization, basic training, senior care, and even unique pets like birds or horses. I love building trust with every animal and their owner, no matter their age or needs! So, I can’t wait to meet yours :) As a university student, I’m reliably available in the evenings for visits or walks. On a given day, I can also fit in early morning walks if that works best for your pet’s schedule, I’m very flexible! Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. In your home I follow your instructions exactly for feeding, routines, playtime, and any special needs. I double-check doors and gates, provide lots of attention and cuddles, and keep everything secure. I treat your home with respect—tidy on arrival, tidier when I leave! You’ll get regular photo updates so you can relax and have that peace of mind you deserve! With my shelter, adoption, and personal animal experience, I’m calm, reliable, and great at helping pets feel safe and loved in their familiar space. Happy to chat about your pet’s needs!

“Nastassia was great. We booked her to pet sit our cat for 7 days. She is punctual, updated us with photos and our cat enjoyed staying with her. She is genuinely affectionate with our cat and also took good care of our house. Will surely rebook her.”
“We have used her services several times and never have to worry. I would not choose anyone else. Our one kitty is extremely shy and runs away and hides, but not with her! Shall I say cat whisperer?”
“Our experience with Jacqueline was a 10/10! She gave our cat the royal treatment from start to finish. Not only did she provide extra care and feeding she also left our home immaculate. We received fun pics and updates every day and it was clear that she really loves cats, as much as we do! I would highly recommend Jacqueline for any pet care - she is super responsible.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I’ve fostered dogs ranging from young puppies to rescue cases coming from neglect, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. I also worked at a dog and cat boarding kennel, where I supervised playgroups and cared for a wide variety of client pets. This experience made me very confident in reading canine body language, managing group dynamics, and ensuring every pet stays safe, comfortable, and happy. With a background in veterinary medicine as a Wildlife Biologist, I’m confident administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. You can trust that your pet is in capable, attentive hands. I’m also very active—I’ve spent years hiking in the Rockies, so whether your dog loves long walks, runs, or high-energy play, I can easily keep up! As a former dog owner of 14 years, I understand the special care and patience senior dogs need, as well as the deep bond we share with our pets. In addition, I’ve taken training courses and worked closely with my foster dogs on skills like crate training and leash manners to help set them up for success. Your pet will be treated like family, with lots of love, attention, and personalized care. I have recently completed my Masters degree and am doing some online coursework to continue building my skillset so my schedule is very open and flexible to the needs of your pet! I take safety and comfort very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I’ve created a pet-friendly environment with potential hazards in mind, any plants are kept in a closed-off room so they’re completely inaccessible, and since there are no children in the home, there are no small toys or choking risks present. My space is also senior-friendly, with only one stair, making it easier and safer for older dogs or those with mobility concerns. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, including monitoring water intake based on their breed, activity level, and the weather, to ensure they stay properly hydrated and healthy. Overall, I aim to provide a calm, secure, and attentive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

“JoAnn has been great for Otto and treats him well. JoAnn communicates well how he does in her home. She recently had Otto and her dog on a walk with a double leash which went well. Thanks for your consistency as well!”
“Unfortunately, my dog has anxiety which defeated her today, so she wasn't able to stay for the day. But Amber tried really hard to calm her, and in a different circumstance, I would absolutely entrust a dog to her. She was very patient and understanding and communicated well with me.”
“Chester has a fantastic time whenever he is at Joann and Francis's home. He absolutely loves Rosie, their little pup, and they have a blast together. He comes home tired and happy.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Brianna. She updated me with pictures and videos during Bobo's stay at her house. Bobo came home happy and all tired out from a fun day! Thank you Brianna!”
“Could not ask for a better place to bring my dogs and know that they are getting everything that they need and more. They love going there. Will continue to use all the time. Thank you again.”
About: My name is Julie, We have our golden boy Jasper, who is a goldendoodle and is two and a haft year, He is neutered and is such a friendly pup and loves to have friends for day care :) But he stays at home if I’m needed to drop in or walk your pups, dogs, cats… hey I use to walk my cat in NS haha I’m here for it all and always challenge my self to new and def opportunities as well as I rise to any challenge that comes my way. I’ve been working on my new skills with grooming our own dog every second visit from the groomers in town and would be able to do some free trimming while taking care of your pet if needed no problem with request as I’d need to bring my tools unless there staying for the day care and after have had met you furr friends a few times before hand for your pets to become more comfortable with me first :) I have also recently taken a dog behaviour and training course and doggy chef course and can train your pet during my visits or our walks. Until then I look forward of meeting your furr friends and your self and taking good care of your pets for you as I have my own and know how much love they need and care. I currently work shift at work and can book days off monthly if set ahead of time if requesting for regular booking and have the privilege to as well to manage my own schedule and switch my shifts around if availability is available to accommodate taking care of pets if your going out of town, as my career is quite def then the norm and we just have to follow some rules to do so, but the down side of this is I’m always working holidays, most weekends and the busy time of the year with March break and summer but can also request specific days off of the week a month at a time if clients are weekly or monthly. I always bring our boy to the river off leash and also the ranch trails and carry wild animal spray and have bear spray with me at all time to best protect our selfs but wouldn’t take your pets out unless authorized to do so! I’ve taken pet first aid course online and also bad behaviour course so I can always have fun with your pets with trying to teach them new tricks and helping with some bad habits if needed and also only if I’m told to that it’s okay as well of course. Our morning routine is we walk jasper around the block every morning and to explore the surrounding trails that our amazing neighborhood has to offer, we are a very high energy family and are always on a mission for the next best thing and are very positive people my husband and I :) With some directions of the owner I will make sure your furr baby is loved and not stress and use my techniques from my pet courses and make sure they are happy and can’t wait for our next play date and refresh there water, make sure to lock everything up to keep the stranger danger away so there safe for there owner to come home too.

“Lori and her family are awesome! I am so happy with the service provided. My dog, Lexi, LOVES coming to see Lori, and her days are FULL of fun and games! Her dog, Chyna, is such a sweet, mild mannered pup who gets along great with Lexi. They have a HUGE backyard for them to play, which is great for high energy dogs such as mine. Lori took her for two long walks a day and sent me so many adorable pictures! Its a rare thing for me to pick up my dog from doggy day care and for her to actually be tired. This tells me that she really spends her day running and playing with Chyna and the kids to her hearts content! I'm always quite skeptical about leaving my dog with other people, but I have no worries with Lori, I can tell she loves and cares for the dogs she sits as if they were her own, and as a dog owner i cannot ask for anything better than that. I will certainly be using Lori's services again, and I cannot reccomend her enough. If I could give more than 5 stars, then i certainly would!”
About: I have LOVED dogs since I was a child, growing up with a loyal German Shepherd, and a goofy Black Lab. That love of dogs has never left but I have not owned a dog as an adult due to work and travel, but the right time is slowly coming closer for me! I am currently volunteering at the CAHS as a dog walker and I absolutely love it! It's also been great experience handling dogs with a wide range of personalities. Last year, my partner and I dog-sat for friends in their apartment for a few months while they were out of the country. While this dog did have some behavioural issues, it was a very rewarding experience for us to have a dog in our daily lives again and we learned a lot along the way I'm currently not working and my partner is away for the summer so I would love to fill some of my time walking and doggy-sitting. I would love to take your dog on a hike, trail walk, or to an off leash park. Whatever they enjoy, I'm down for an adventure with your pup! Or we can do belly rubs on the couch, I love that too!! I live in a pet-free/child-free apartment, right across the street from a park for quick, easy potty breaks. I enjoy being outside and can offer multiple walks a day. I would love to discuss your pets needs and routine to make sure their stay with me is comfortable and fun for both of us
About: I started taking care of pets 30 years ago with my first dog an all black long haired German Shepherd & my first cat a tabby stray we brought in & named Tiger. I work from home & go for walks every lunch hour & after work so I would love to take your pup with me! It would also be nice to have the company of a pet if you need daytime care. Available most weeks for overnight care. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a park close by which I like to walk to or along the river. Backyard is not fenced.
“Our new puppy loves Sushain’s house. He was so patient and kind with our new little guy. The puppy went for a walk and had lots of play time. The pictures Sushain sent us were priceless. We will definitely be going back!”
“Tucker had so much fun and is so tired from his exciting day! Thanks so much for taking great care of him and loving him! He had a blast with Willow which we absolutely love for his socialization. We were sad for Willow taking Tucker away at the end of his play date 😂 will absolutely book again! Thanks again!”
“Oscar was so well cared for and loved while he stayed with Jacqueline. They sent updates and pictures while he was there and he looked so happy ! They have a beautiful fenced outdoor space for the dogs to run around in as well. I will definitely be bringing Oscar back there!”
About: We are a family of 4 who loves dogs and have lots of experience caring for them. We have two of our own doodles who are excited to make some friends! When you leave your furry family members with us you can rest assured they will almost never be alone and have all the outside breaks they need as we have one parent working from home and the other a stay at home Mom. Your pup will enjoy playing in our fenced yard and we will strive to ensure they are very comfortable and well taken care of. We also offer a 20-30 minute walk each day of their stay if they are able to walk well on leash and are not reactive with other dogs/animals. With both parents at home we are very well suited to care for your pups! We enjoy having dogs in our home and have it set up as a safe and comfortable environment. We have a fenced yard and two of our own very friendly dogs so your fur babies will feel right at home. We are home most of the day so can ensure they are settling in nicely and getting everything they need.
About: I have had pets since I was a child, and owned my own first cat when I was in my 20's. 30 years later, we've had 5 cats and 1 dog and lots of rescues that were re-homed. Petsitting/House Sitting (In Your Home): 9 years ago, as a family we started petsitting internationally - we have petsit in 13 countries and cared for more than 120 family pets. I work online, remotely so I am at home virtually all day to care for your pets allowing them to keep their exact happy and stress-free routines while you are away. Boarding / Daycare (at my home): I'm home all day so your furbabies get lots of attention. I have a small backyard so lots of play and frequent potty breaks. Weather dependent they will get a walk down along the river or one of the dog parks. Local neighborhood walks are also provided. We are full-on animal lovers and they can choose where they want to hang. They are allowed on furniture, beds and can choose who to sleep with. Because I'm home all day, your pets can keep their normal routines for walks, feeding and medications. I am comfortable providing injections or pills. We do have 2 cats that allow us to live full-time with them. One of them is skittish and will most likely hide until she gets to know new fur-friends. The other one thinks everyone is his friend and especially loves dogs. We will initially keep the cats (mine) in a bedroom until they all feel comfortable with each other. If it's other cats coming into our home we will rotate the living space until they are all comfortable with each other. We've done this a lot....our cats are used to other animals coming and going. In-Home Visits/Dog Walking: When it comes to home visits and dog walks, I am flexible and available to meet your furbabies needs and schedules. My standard overnight house sitting rate includes time spent away from the home for up to 5–6 hours per day to accommodate other work and commitments. For pets that require more consistent supervision, I offer a Continuous Care option. This service limits time away from the home to a maximum of 2 hours per day and is priced at 2× my standard daily rate. For example, if my base rate is $50/day for the first pet and $20/day for a second pet, the Continuous Care rate would be $100/day and $40/day respectively. I work from home, so I am extremely flexible with schedules. I am available 7 days a week, and offer dog walking from 6am to 9pm daily. If your pets are boarding at our home, late-night potty breaks past 9pm are provided. I offer overnight petsitting in your home. Your pets get to remain comfortable in their own home environment and maintain their schedules they are used to. Pets who are able to stay in their own home are more stress-free and happy when they are in their familiar and trusted environments, we simply come in and replicate your schedule. In home visits for dog walking and cat visits include a basic home check to ensure your home's security. I will walk your dog(s) for specified durations, play with your dogs and cats, scoop litter, refresh water bowls and feed according to instructions. Lots of love, attention, belly rubs and play. (I may sometimes have my 18yo daughter assist - if I do, she will come for a meet and greet with you as well). We work hard to gain your pets trust. We've had many tell us their pets are shy or anti-social and within hours/days the pets are sitting with us watching TV to the pets looking for us days after we've left. We promise your furbabies will be loved and spoiled with attention.
“Tommy was well taken care off and they made sure to know everything about him to be able to accommodate him best. They care lots for him and I appreciate that. I loved to see Tommy’s day care pictures and was updated on how he was doing during his stay. Thank you guys!”

With 6 of us and our friends and family coming or going throughout the day there is someone almost always home. Our boys are 22, 20 and 18 years and our daughter is now 9 years of age. We love cuddles and outdoor walks/jogs with dogs. Over night stays welcome or Pawsitive Pet Playcare! We are happy to accommodate your regular routine so your pet care is consistent while you are away. In Summer 2023, we welcomed a Yorkshire terror into our family. She’s been fun. Seen as dogs come with various personalities and traits we will enjoy getting to know your dog and socializing yours with ours. We can separate our dog from yours if necessary. If your dog is allowed to be on couch or bed we can accommodate that at our home.
About: My name is Julie, We have our golden boy Jasper, who is a goldendoodle and is two and a haft year, He is neutered and is such a friendly pup and loves to have friends for day care :) But he stays at home if I’m needed to drop in or walk your pups, dogs, cats… hey I use to walk my cat in NS haha I’m here for it all and always challenge my self to new and def opportunities as well as I rise to any challenge that comes my way. I’ve been working on my new skills with grooming our own dog every second visit from the groomers in town and would be able to do some free trimming while taking care of your pet if needed no problem with request as I’d need to bring my tools unless there staying for the day care and after have had met you furr friends a few times before hand for your pets to become more comfortable with me first :) I have also recently taken a dog behaviour and training course and doggy chef course and can train your pet during my visits or our walks. Until then I look forward of meeting your furr friends and your self and taking good care of your pets for you as I have my own and know how much love they need and care. I currently work shift at work and can book days off monthly if set ahead of time if requesting for regular booking and have the privilege to as well to manage my own schedule and switch my shifts around if availability is available to accommodate taking care of pets if your going out of town, as my career is quite def then the norm and we just have to follow some rules to do so, but the down side of this is I’m always working holidays, most weekends and the busy time of the year with March break and summer but can also request specific days off of the week a month at a time if clients are weekly or monthly. I always bring our boy to the river off leash and also the ranch trails and carry wild animal spray and have bear spray with me at all time to best protect our selfs but wouldn’t take your pets out unless authorized to do so! I’ve taken pet first aid course online and also bad behaviour course so I can always have fun with your pets with trying to teach them new tricks and helping with some bad habits if needed and also only if I’m told to that it’s okay as well of course. Our morning routine is we walk jasper around the block every morning and to explore the surrounding trails that our amazing neighborhood has to offer, we are a very high energy family and are always on a mission for the next best thing and are very positive people my husband and I :) With some directions of the owner I will make sure your furr baby is loved and not stress and use my techniques from my pet courses and make sure they are happy and can’t wait for our next play date and refresh there water, make sure to lock everything up to keep the stranger danger away so there safe for there owner to come home too. I also carry a pet corrector spray that’s just noise incase there were to have any dispute with any other dogs while walking your pup or if that’s staying with us for a day care as well to make sure that the pets play nicely with each other with our dog Jasper.
About: I’ve owned cats all my life so I’m very experienced with them. I also love working with dogs, my family has always had big and small dogs around. I’m a school bus driver so I’m free after 9am to 1:30pm and then after 5pm also, mon-thurs. Friday 9am to 12:30pm and after 3:30pm. Weekends are fully available I give lots of love and make sure your pets are getting the best care possible. I will always listen to instructions and touch base about walks and outside time.
“Thank you so much Amber! Our pup Phoenix had such a good walk with Amber the last two days! She also fed Phoenix for us because we wouldn't be home for dinner. We definitely recommend booking Amber for dog walking!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I’ve fostered dogs ranging from young puppies to rescue cases coming from neglect, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. I also worked at a dog and cat boarding kennel, where I supervised playgroups and cared for a wide variety of client pets. This experience made me very confident in reading canine body language, managing group dynamics, and ensuring every pet stays safe, comfortable, and happy. With a background in veterinary medicine as a Wildlife Biologist, I’m confident administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and keeping a close eye on your pet’s overall health and wellbeing. You can trust that your pet is in capable, attentive hands. I’m also very active—I’ve spent years hiking in the Rockies, so whether your dog loves long walks, runs, or high-energy play, I can easily keep up! As a former dog owner of 14 years, I understand the special care and patience senior dogs need, as well as the deep bond we share with our pets. In addition, I’ve taken training courses and worked closely with my foster dogs on skills like crate training and leash manners to help set them up for success. Your pet will be treated like family, with lots of love, attention, and personalized care. I have recently completed my Masters degree and am doing some online coursework to continue building my skillset so my schedule is very open and flexible to the needs of your pet! I take safety and comfort very seriously, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I’ve created a pet-friendly environment with potential hazards in mind, any plants are kept in a closed-off room so they’re completely inaccessible, and since there are no children in the home, there are no small toys or choking risks present. My space is also senior-friendly, with only one stair, making it easier and safer for older dogs or those with mobility concerns. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, including monitoring water intake based on their breed, activity level, and the weather, to ensure they stay properly hydrated and healthy. Overall, I aim to provide a calm, secure, and attentive environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
About: I currently offer house sitting and pet care. For stays longer than 3 nights, I sometimes bring my own dog — a 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who is quiet, fully house-trained, and gets along well with other dogs. He is always kenneled when left home alone for safety. Bringing my dog is completely negotiable, and I’m happy to work with owners who prefer their dog to be the only one in the house. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before finalizing any booking to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. I do work just under 40 hours per week, but it’s extremely important to me that dogs get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and a full potty break before I leave for work so they’re comfortable while I’m away. I’m always home promptly after work to give them the attention, love, and care they deserve. In my spare time, I love activities where dogs can come along — walks, outdoor time, and trips to the dog park. I’m happy to take dogs on walks and to the dog park at no extra cost, as long as owners are comfortable and it suits their dog’s needs. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and following any specific care instructions your pet may have. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home, and I aim to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to chat and answer any questions you may have! I work just under 40 hours a week and when I am pet sitting I ensure I am home promptly after work to make sure the dogs get the care and attention they need. I always make sure that any gates or fences in the yards are closed when the dogs are outside , never let them bark for more then 1-2 minutes. I make sure potty breaks are given at least every 2 hours when I’m home and that they are fed and happy all the time
About: I have LOVED dogs since I was a child, growing up with a loyal German Shepherd, and a goofy Black Lab. That love of dogs has never left but I have not owned a dog as an adult due to work and travel, but the right time is slowly coming closer for me! I am currently volunteering at the CAHS as a dog walker and I absolutely love it! It's also been great experience handling dogs with a wide range of personalities. Last year, my partner and I dog-sat for friends in their apartment for a few months while they were out of the country. While this dog did have some behavioural issues, it was a very rewarding experience for us to have a dog in our daily lives again and we learned a lot along the way I'm currently not working and my partner is away for the summer so I would love to fill some of my time walking and doggy-sitting. I would love to take your dog on a hike, trail walk, or to an off leash park. Whatever they enjoy, I'm down for an adventure with your pup! Or we can do belly rubs on the couch, I love that too!! I live in a pet-free/child-free apartment, right across the street from a park for quick, easy potty breaks. I enjoy being outside and can offer multiple walks a day. I would love to discuss your pets needs and routine to make sure their stay with me is comfortable and fun for both of us
About: Growing up I always had animals in my home and around me that I cared for . As a kid I lived on an acreage and cared for our animals big and small. From the cats and dogs as well as the horses . Now in adulthood I own a cat as well as two large breed dogs (Great Danes) who I love and care for everyday. I am currently very flexible and available to care for your animals. Ideally during daytime hours while my son is at daycare i can care for your pets (ie. between 9am-5pm). In my home our pets are treated like family and I will respect and care for them like my own. I am an extremely trustworthy and dependable person. I frequently care for family members pets / homes while they are out of town.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager, feeding, grooming, and playing with pets whose ages range from just a few years old, to grey-haired, senior citizens. I also have experience taking care of pets on special diets, and those who need medication. I have previously volunteered with the Cochrane Humane Society, and currently volunteer with the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society animals from a variety of backgrounds, and with a variety of needs. I'm available to house sit, dog walk, and play with your pets in their home where they're most comfortable and at ease. I'm available Sunday through Saturday for drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I ask the owner about their pet's background, what their usual schedule is (especially in regards to eating, exercise, grooming, etc). if there are any foods they like/dislike, and if there are any medical needs I should be aware of. I make sure to get the phone number for the vet that their pet goes to, and discuss who to contact, and what to do in case of an emergency.

“Amber is amazing! She cared for our 2 dogs for 3 weeks and was just incredible! Our one pup is a senior recovering from surgery, and she was so great with meds and physio and taking all the precautions he needed in his recovery. Our other pup is an active one, and she managed to balance both their needs and is an amazing communicator! We were able to enjoy our extended trip with absolutely no worries, and also received regular updates and pics of their staycation with Amber. My pups also came away with a new best friend in Dante. To say that I highly recommend Amber is an understatement.”
“We were so happy with all the adventures Cindy took our Mr. Timber on! Hiking, biking, paddling & swimming. Highly recommend if you have a pup that loves off leash adventures. Timber came home very tired.”
“Merron was excellent with our dog. Our dog has only stayed with family over her seven years. Family was unable to care for our dog so we search via Rover. We located Merron set up the meet and greet. Leaving my dog with someone I don't really know was extremely stressful for me, my dog adjusted better than I did. Merron provided daily pics and texts so I was always informed and provided feedback when she noticed evening sleeping issues. All dogs are family and when someone takes your family member into home she gave my dog all the love and attention she needed. Merron, I would recommend highly if your board your dog with her. I will use her services again. Such a positive experience Thanks Merron you're the best”
“Huge thank you to Maxine and Léa! They are always awesome with our big goofy guy. We never worry about our pup as he is cared for as one of their own, and the updates are incredible! We can’t recommend them enough.”
“Karlee was amazing with our fur baby! She made him feel right at home by playing with him and taking him on his daily walks. She kept us informed with daily pictures which kept us at ease.”
“Penny and her family cared for my dog Roxy for 5 days while we were on holidays. She was great and provided a safe home for my dog. She would keep me up to date with pictures and texts to let me know how things we going. This put us ease and let us enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was well cared for. I would highly recommend Penny and I will be using her again in the future.”
“Yulina did a great job taking care of our pup! She sent us the cutest updates while we were away and kept us informed so we were not worried. Felix seemed very comfortable with her and we knew he was in good hands, we would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Oscar had a wonderful time staying with Scott and Carly. They took excellent care of him and kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Oscar was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We truly appreciate their kindness and professionalism and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for caring dog sitters.”
“Millie & Scout were great. My pup had a fantastic time, got a ton of exercise, and just got to be a dog without helicopter dad railing on her parade. She got to swim, run, play in the park, and still came home clean and proper despite the wet weather! Very happy with our stay. 😊 Would recommend!”
“Stacey and Celeb were amazing dog sitters while we were away for a wedding! They messaged us with photos and updates each day. It was nice to be stress free while we were away knowing our little doggo Odis was in great hands. They were even very accommodating to his special diet and silly behaviours. Thank you again for everything! We can’t recommend them enough 😊”
“Such a fantastic stay! Cynthia responds quickly and kept us up to date with Colt during our 2.5 weeks away! Lots of photos and Colt looks like he had a wonderful vacation with Cynthia while we had ours! Will definitely stay with her again if we go on vacation. Thanks Cynthia!!!”
“France was amazing!! My pup stayed at her place for 3 days and I received a lot of pictures/videos of him having fun with her and her dog Hank, I highly recommend her and will book again for sure if needed 😊”
